What won't be said
at Founder's Week
We would like to devote the contents of this week's
and next week's - Clarion to what is not going to be said
at Founder's Week this year. Basically this message is the
same message which was ignored by many American evan­gelicals
at the Lausanne International Congress on World
Evangelization last summer. Some of this message did come
to be included in the official conference document, the Cov­enant,
in the following words:
"We affirm that God is both the Creator and the Judge
of all men. We therefore should share his concern for justice
and reconciliation throughout human society and for the
liberation of men from every kind of oppression. Because
mankind is made in the image of God, every person, re­gardless
of race, religion, color, culture, class, sex or age,
has an intrinsic dignity because of which he should be
respected and served, not exploited. Here too we express
penitence both for our neglect and for having sometimes
regarded evangelism and social concern as mutually ex­clusive
... "
How much real Christian concern for humanity exists
in the Baptist General Conference? And how much of it is
forgotten in the name of "evangelism"? We feel a growing
frustration with the slick, Madison Avenue techniques for
salvation which have come to be sanctioned by this denomina­tion
and others like it. And we feel a strangely kindred spirit
with the words of Samuel Escobar (President of the Inter­Varsity
Christian Fellowship in Canada) when he describes
the Western world as place "where secularism is rapidly re­placing
Christian influence while Christians (especially evan­gelicals)
watch indifferently in the name of evangelism, not
realizing the degree to which their version of the Gospel is
also secularized and paganized by their passive acceptance
of their society's pagan value system." (Post American, Nov­ember,
1974, p. 14)
What we wish we could hear at 'Founder's Week is some­thing
like this: the American dream is dead. We can no
longer continue to expand our 'economy at the expense of
other peoples. It is time for Christians - evangelical or
not - to lead this country in a new ordering of values that
may someday soon bring each man in the world his equal
share of the world's resourC'es. We wish the speakers at this
year's Founder's Week would preach on the evils of baving
two family cars to waste other countries' g'asoline resources.
Or scream that we better not count how many souls die
without knowledge of Christ if those souls are dying of starv­ation.
Americans have sinned in being wasteful, selfish, arrogant
and fat. We wish someone would preach on that at Founder's
Week. We wish someone would speak the truth.

Que'en is out, hos'tess in;
yet no functional change
Not too long ago a decision was made to elect a college
hostess in lieu , of a queen. The qualifications of the new
office were identified to incorporate skills that would en­hance
such a function in the college and in the college's
relationship with the community. The new office was not
to be a new title for the "prettiest thing around." Moreover
there seemed great potential in the college community's
choosing someone to represent it in an ongoing, official
capacity. Such a service could benefit a variety of occasions
besides the homecoming event.
The Student Personnel Policies Committee is concerned
that while the "queen" is out and the "hostess" in, there
has been no functional change. It seems that it is desire­able
to develop the services of our hostess. She could be
the official welcomer at college-sponsored activities, such as
Founders Week, concerts, commencement, etc., as well as
internal receptions, etc. It seems appropriate, too, that our
hostess function as a representative of the college at various
meetings associated with the college's outreach. It seems a
waste of our Christian stewardship opportunities to neglect
this resource.

Student chides dorm council
Congratul'ations,
I thought that I would drop a short note to say thanks
a~d congratulations to the dorm council for completely
blowing another open dorm (December 8). According to their
almighty majesty they saw fit in their benevolence to bestow
upon us ungrateful peons a gracious two hours of open dorm
during Festival of Christmas.
At least they are getting a little better. We knew of the

open dorm more than Ph days in advance. Thank you.
Also, I am glad to report that they did not cancel it this
time as was the case at Edgren during Nik Dag Weekend.
The dorm parents graciously offered the lounge as an ade­quate
alternative location for the dinner several of us had
planned for my dorm room. Somehow the atmosphere in the
lounge was slightly lacking.
You would think that it would be possible to be able
to organize just one evening out of a month for open dorm.
But then, I do realize that the councp and dorm parents
are very busy doing whatever they do. Oh well, I guess
this is just another one of those minor injustices due to
inefficiency we must suffer in this cruel cold world.

Give credit, not criticism
to the Food Service
Dear Editor,
Criticizing the food service, at any school, is one of the
favorite pastimes of college students, it seems. While com­plaints
are sometimes valid, it seems to me that the Bethel
Food Service, on the whole, is doing a good job of feeding
us, and I was glad to read Kim Maring's factual defense
of it in the last issue of the Clarion.
In my opinion, arid that of others I know, Bethel food
is usually good. There is a variety of choices (two or three
kinds of meat, vegetables and salads), and the food, though
it may not always measure up to Mom's, tastes good. I've
had a chance to try new foods like artichokes, and don't even
get homebaked bread at home! Of course, there are some
meals that don't appeal to me or that may not be the most
delectable thing I've ever eaten, but on the whole, I am
satisfied.
Kim's letter, with her listing of prices and explanation
of where the Food Service income goes, confirmed my belief
that we get a good buy on food here. With price changes
on only three items (one of which was reduced in price
per ounce since last year, and a paltry profit of three percent)
the Food Service is obviously trying to keep its costs and
prices down. And you must admit, eating in the cafeteria
is less expensive than eating a comparable meal in a rest­aurant.
The Food Service serves most of us better than we
realize, I think, and it seems to me that it should get more
credit and less criticism. Maybe, if with a positive attitude,
we were less picky and critical, the food would suddenly
"improve. "
Sincerely,
Sharon Erickson

Dear Edltor,
Now that registration is over, I think it is relevant
and timely to ask the administration for an easier way
to register for classes and to be able to obtain the classes
that one wants.
I am only a freshman at Bethel, so I can only speak from
the experience of two registrations. But I have found that
two is more than I want to experience. I have had enough.
I feel my complaints are very well founded.
First, one finds oneself getting up at 5 a.m. in order
to obtain a good place in line. By the time I got there
(the registration line), there were already 32 people in front
of me. Why should I get up so eady? It was the last
day of registration and at the rate that classes were closing
'up, I did not want to take the chance of getting one of
my classes closed, for then I would ha ve to go through
the process of changing my entire schedule.
Secondly, it is terrible to have to wait in line for such
a long time. It was not so bad to be number 33 in line,
but I pity those 100 or so people who found themselves
behind me. I feel it is a waste of the student's time
and sleep to have to bother with "the line."
The whole problem can be summarized in my last point;
we need more courses. It may cost the school more to have
more courses, but there are more students and the stu­dents
must have more courses to fulfill the requirements
set by the school. It only seems right that the school should
supply more sections of the same courses that they require
their students to take.
Sincerely,
Bruce Olsen

MHRAcombats cancer of urban blighf
by Ann Ziebarth
Editor's nOte: Ann Ziebarth isa -senior at the 'Pniver!~ity
of Minnesota. !She is a 'Housing 'Major and - is presently
an intern with the Minneapolis Housing and Redevelopment
Authority. She has also beEm an intern with the Depart­ment
of Housing Inspections for the City of Minneapolis.
Miss Ziebarth is a friend of the editor.
The future of America's cities depends upon the vi­ability
of its neighllorhoods. Each area of the city, each block,
and each individual building must be alive or the cancer of
urban ,blight spreads. No one person or building is free
from the adverse effects of decay. If one home is neglected
the value of the house next door is less. Less value means
less upkeep and the spiral of deterioration begins.
Within the city of Minneapolis alone there has been
estimated at least 27,000 homes which ,are in need of major
repairs. In order to coml;>at this problem the Minneapolis
Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the City of Minn­eapolis
have created a city-wide . rehabilitation program.
, I
HOME REHABILITATH~:N" PROGRAM
This rehabilitation program provides loans with long re­payment
periods and low interest rates of 4, 6, and 8
percent for homeowners who wish to fix up their proper-fonT
The Rehabilitation Program is responsible
for 6,681 acres of neighborhood and indus­trial
renewal areas.
"Public housing is home.
ties. There are a very limited number of grarits ,also avail­able
for emergency repairs. '
The program is designed to ease .the pressure of the
higl1 interest rates so that homes do not fall beyond the level
of minimum housing standards. This program is a major
step toward reversing the decay chain and in keeping Minn­eapolis
a quality city to live and grow in.
URBAN RENEWAL
The Authority does much more than administrate the
City's Rehabilitation Program. They are responsible for
6,681 acres of neighborhood and industrial renewal areas.
The residential urban renewal projects _ are carefully planned
programs designed to eliminate blight, to provide positive
economic growth, to preserve and heighten the viability of
the neighborhood and overall to increase the quality of the
living environment. These programs include some commercial
, buildings located in' primarily residential areas. '
The urban renewal programs provide financial and tech­nical
assis'tance to rehabilitate deteriorating buildings. The
Authority demolishes those buildings which are beyond repair
and helps displaced residents find a new home or business
location. These displaced persons are also given financial
assistance. The Authority then redevelops the land or sells
it for private development which is restricted to compliance
with the requirements of the plan.
Industrial renewal is primarily being accomplished through
Tax Increment Programs. These programs provide plans as
well as financial and technical assistance to improve specific
area's. The improvements are then paid for through the in­creased
tax revenues resulting from this improved quality
of the area.
PUBLIC HOUSING
The' planning, construction, maintenance, and manage­ment
of public assisted housing for those persons who need
it, is also the responsibility of the Authority.
Housing for elderly persons on limited incomes is pri­marily
provided in high rise apartment bLiildings. These
buildings are specifically designed to meet the special needs
of elderly persons with features such 'as doors, to accommodate
wheel chairs, grab bars, hand rails · and provision for main-tenance
of units_ , .
There are some leased units for ~lderly persons. These
units are owned by private concerns and rented by the
Authority. The Authority then sublets the apartments at a
subsidised rate to individuals.
Assisted housing for families provides housing for ~amilies
with limited incomes or those who are required to spend over
25 per cent of their income for their housing needs. Some
family units are located in townhouse communities. Others are
in single family homes scattered throughout the city. These
scattered units are Authority owned and rented to families.
The major constructioh of Public Housing in the last few
years has been high rise buildings for elderly persons,
URBAN HOMESTEADING
Within the next few months the Authority is planning
to adopt an Urban Homesteading Program. This program will
market homes very inexpensively. The owners must then
rehabilitate the home, bringing it up to the minimum main-tenance
code requirements. .
CONCLUSION
. 'No one person
or . ~ building r is free
from the adverse
effects of decay'
This is a very brief overview of one of the many service
agencies in the Metropolitan Area. It is through tQese agencies
that the high quality of life possible within urban areas is
preserved, maintained and revitalized.
The key to remember is that prevention is what really
counts. Concern by each and every citizen to the real
problems is a necessity. The real problems of rats, disease,
' leaking roofs, and pover~ live not only in the New York's
and the Chicago's but in Minneapolis, in St. Paul and 'in
every place people live.
The solution to any problem begins only if we are aware
of it. Then alternatives can be suggested and attempted.
The Minneapolis Housing and Redevelopment Authority is one
small attempt toward a solution of the housing problem.

It may not be the best solution and it is certainly not the

A:UTHOR'S NOTE
As college students we cannot afford to be so secure in
our "comfortable" everyday lives that we can forget the
reality of the world around us. Awareness and concern are
not even enough. Action must bridge the gap. Many agencies
and businesses have set up internship programs. ' These
programs provide experience for students in their fields as
well as additional staff to the organization th~se students
serve.
The Urban Corp coordinates many of the service-learning
internships \yithin the Metropolitan area. Anyone registered
as a college student is eligible ,to apply and many of the
positions allow the student to be paid as well as to receive
college credit.
If you're at all interested give the Urban Corp a call
apd see what ' is available. But don't give up if they can't
help you. Initiation is the name of the game, block yourself
a space of time, make a few phone calls and knock on a
few doors. The experience you gain may be that jump '
ahead in your future career .

Pi GammaMu:
so'cial" welfare is
agent of change
by Gloria Jackson
"Social Welfare: Cowboys or Indi­ans"
was the title of the third Pi Gamma
Mu lecture, presented on November 19,
by Donald Belton, instructor of social
work. Belton's paper on the role of social
welfare in American society presented
the question of social welfare as an
agent of change, or an agent of social
control.
"Because our social welfare system
is addressed to the preservation of social
norms, it is an institution of social con­trol,"
said Belton. Because of this basic
contention, the programs that have been
designed to help have not been effective
and have served to "pat the needy on
the head." They have not helped to
right any fundamental social evils.
The furtherance of the American
"ideal" with values like progress, suc­cess,
and work have affected the admin­istration
of the welfare system in that
"people will become okay if they become
like us."
Belton suggests that we need to . take
a realistic look at the values of the
system and that a change is needed
in the social structure. "Our integrity
demands our involvement in making our
society responsive to the human needs
of all its citizens."
Belton said that political action is im­portant
and that efforts to change our
institution _of social welfare will not occur
inside our tax supported agencies. "It
must occur through privately funded so­cial
action agencies and community and
professional pressure groups." Thus, Bel.
ton suggests a "mutual responsibility"
as everyone's right.
This mutual responsibility is especially
pertinent to the Christian. This respons­ibility
is working together with individual
responsibility causing a "dynamic tension
between the two."
Student respondents were Loren Wood­man
and Marilyn Jackson. They initiated
questions that led to a lively discussion
among students and faculty attending
the lecture.
Commenting during discussion, Belton
said, "the role of the Christian is not
what he can do, but what he should
be doing. Slowly, with realistic goals,
it is possible to change."

LRC nOise:
maybe hummers
don't know words
by Bruce Olsen and Dan Joling
Walking through the library without
hearing any noise can be quite an accom­plishment.
In fact, it is probably im­possible.
So this survey was taken to
obtain the opinion of Joe Student and
what he thinks about the noise in the
LRC (otherwise known as the library).
Our first find was not the least bit
surprising. People ' were bothered by
noise. We were surprised to find that
22 per cent of those surveyed were not
bothered at all by noise. However, many
of those not bothered admitted that they
were the ones making the noise.
Talking was the biggest noise maker
to those surveyed, but the humming of
the lights in the LRC was a strong
second. "That constant hum just drives
me up a wall," said one student. Many
said the hum and talking bothered them,
but when asked which one made the
most noise, many students chose talking.
"It interrupts the quiet atmosphere
more," said another student. "But that
hum is bad."
Of the 29 per cent who use the li­brary
less than three hours a week,
many of them said they never use it
at all. One student said, "I don't use
it unless I have to (for resources). The
noise is just unbearable."
Our final question, "Would you favor
enforcement of total silence in the LRC?"
received the most reaction. Many of
the answers we received were, "No,"
or, "Are you kidding?" or even, "To­tal
silence? You've got to be nuts."
Although 78 percent were bothered by
noise in some way, 175 of the 202 sur­veyed
were against enforcing total sil­ence
in the LRC. "Can't we just whis­per
a little bit?" they would ask.
Mark Grindahl controls his opponent in an exhibition match during
the Royals' meet with Northland. Wednesday, the Bethel grapplers
beat Gustavus Adolphus 34·18.
"Where would you draw the line be­tween
whispering and talking?" I would
question. At this point, they decided a­gainst
total silence.
It must be taken under consideration
tha t 13 per cent of those polled were
in favor of enforced silence. "Throw
out those loudmouths," some would say.
"I'd like to use the library to study,
but I can't stand all the noise in there."
What are the possible solutions to such
a problem? If there is some way to
fix the lights (Le. stop the humming
sound) , then get them fixed. Without
the constant hum, many would not mind
an occasional whisper.
Secondly, use common sense when you
talk. Be aware of other students who
come to the library to do some serious
studying, and try not to make a habit
of talking.
Our last suggestion would be to set
aside some classrooms where students
could talk when they needed to. "The
coffee shop isn't always the best place
to study and talk. There are too many
distractions," said one student. Setting
up study-talk classrooms would take a
lot of pressure off the library noise.
Hopefully it would not take a lot of
students out of the library.

young, hopeful
by Gloria Jackson
The Women's Intercollegiate Basket­ball
team opened their 1975 season last
night as they met Macaleste:r; on the
home court. Coach Shirley Dawson, be­ginning
her first season here as basket­ball
coach, said, "The success of the
team will be determined by consistent
shooters, success in defense, and the
ability to . stop the other team from scor­ing."
Although the team is "young" because
almost all of last year's starting line
graduated, Coach Dawson looks forward
to a good season. "My goal for the
season is to qualify for the state tour­nament
next year," said Miss Dawson.
Twelve girls are out for the season
with more than 50 percent freshmen.
Three seniors, two juniors, and two soph­omores
complete the roster. This includes
two returning varsity players, Marilyn
Luce and Terry Schimbeno.
The Lady Royals will play St. Olaf
January 21 at St. Olaf. A ten-game sea­son
is scheduled for the team and a
"B" team will also play.

Bethel second in tourney,
loses to Ha'm/ine in ·OT
by Keith Kramer
The basketball team goes on the road this weekend
to open this year's Tri-State action.
The Royals placed second in the Hamline Holiday Classic
over the holidays. They beat Concordia-River Forest (Ill.) in
their first game, 74-69. Paul Healy led Bethel scorers with
19 points.
The Royals lost in the championship game, 72-71, to
Hamline in two overtimes. Hamline led by nine points at
halftime, 34-25, but Bethel came back and tied the score
at the end of regulation time at 64-64.
Both teams scored four points in the first overtime and
Hamline's Tom Cybela put in two layups to provide the
winning margin. Mark Robertson scored 24 points in the
championship game and led Bethel's scoring. Robertson, Craig
Oslin and Tim Engebretson were named to the All-Tourney
team.
Against Trinity, the Royals fell behind at the start, with
Trinity building a quick ten point lead. Trinity called a time­out
at 12 :43 left to play in the first half, which destroyed
their momentum. The Trojans then tried stalling tactics for
the rest of the first half, which ended 37-29.
In the second half, the Royals showed some fire and it ·
looked as though the game could be close. Paul Healy scored
on a jumper with 13 :12 left, to pull the Royals to within
seven. That was the closest Bethel ever got as the Trojans
came back to put the game away with some steady outside
shooting and aggressive rebounding.
FREE THROWS: According to Tri-State statistics released
on December 26, Bethel led all (Tri-State) teams in non-con­ference
defensive play with a 72.5 points against average.
However, the Royals had the least amount of scoring punch
(64.0 pts.), and finished last in the non-conference standings
(2-6). Mark Robertson leads the team in scoring (13 .. 9
pts. per game) and rebounding (8.1 per game).
Northland stops Royalls;
Witzgall returns, wins
by Curtis Kregness
The Northland College Lumberjacks came' to wrestle
the Royals last Saturday in spite of the blizzard, and left
with a 26-21 victory under their belts.
Coach Dave Klostreich said that his team was "not
healthy," but turned in a good performance under the cir­cumstances.
Fred Witzgall, a senior who was injured playing
football last fall, wrestled for the first time this season and
outpointed his opponent 13-1. Fred Ogimachi was out with a
sprained ankle in the U8-pound class. Klostreich said that
he would be ready for the meet at Gustavus Adolphus on
Wednesday, January 15.
Jerry Flasch was ailing with water on the elbow, but
will be wrestling again soon at 190 pounds. By February,
when junior Dave Lindenberg becomes eligible, the team
should be well-rounded and prepared for Tri-State Conference
competition, said Klostreich.
Tomorrow, the Bethel grapplers participate in the North­land
Invitational at Ashland, Wisconsin. This ten-team tourney
is one of the season's highlights, and will pit the Royals
against several tough MIAC teams.

What won't be said
at Founder's Week
We would like to devote the contents of this week's
and next week's - Clarion to what is not going to be said
at Founder's Week this year. Basically this message is the
same message which was ignored by many American evan­gelicals
at the Lausanne International Congress on World
Evangelization last summer. Some of this message did come
to be included in the official conference document, the Cov­enant,
in the following words:
"We affirm that God is both the Creator and the Judge
of all men. We therefore should share his concern for justice
and reconciliation throughout human society and for the
liberation of men from every kind of oppression. Because
mankind is made in the image of God, every person, re­gardless
of race, religion, color, culture, class, sex or age,
has an intrinsic dignity because of which he should be
respected and served, not exploited. Here too we express
penitence both for our neglect and for having sometimes
regarded evangelism and social concern as mutually ex­clusive
... "
How much real Christian concern for humanity exists
in the Baptist General Conference? And how much of it is
forgotten in the name of "evangelism"? We feel a growing
frustration with the slick, Madison Avenue techniques for
salvation which have come to be sanctioned by this denomina­tion
and others like it. And we feel a strangely kindred spirit
with the words of Samuel Escobar (President of the Inter­Varsity
Christian Fellowship in Canada) when he describes
the Western world as place "where secularism is rapidly re­placing
Christian influence while Christians (especially evan­gelicals)
watch indifferently in the name of evangelism, not
realizing the degree to which their version of the Gospel is
also secularized and paganized by their passive acceptance
of their society's pagan value system." (Post American, Nov­ember,
1974, p. 14)
What we wish we could hear at 'Founder's Week is some­thing
like this: the American dream is dead. We can no
longer continue to expand our 'economy at the expense of
other peoples. It is time for Christians - evangelical or
not - to lead this country in a new ordering of values that
may someday soon bring each man in the world his equal
share of the world's resourC'es. We wish the speakers at this
year's Founder's Week would preach on the evils of baving
two family cars to waste other countries' g'asoline resources.
Or scream that we better not count how many souls die
without knowledge of Christ if those souls are dying of starv­ation.
Americans have sinned in being wasteful, selfish, arrogant
and fat. We wish someone would preach on that at Founder's
Week. We wish someone would speak the truth.

Que'en is out, hos'tess in;
yet no functional change
Not too long ago a decision was made to elect a college
hostess in lieu , of a queen. The qualifications of the new
office were identified to incorporate skills that would en­hance
such a function in the college and in the college's
relationship with the community. The new office was not
to be a new title for the "prettiest thing around." Moreover
there seemed great potential in the college community's
choosing someone to represent it in an ongoing, official
capacity. Such a service could benefit a variety of occasions
besides the homecoming event.
The Student Personnel Policies Committee is concerned
that while the "queen" is out and the "hostess" in, there
has been no functional change. It seems that it is desire­able
to develop the services of our hostess. She could be
the official welcomer at college-sponsored activities, such as
Founders Week, concerts, commencement, etc., as well as
internal receptions, etc. It seems appropriate, too, that our
hostess function as a representative of the college at various
meetings associated with the college's outreach. It seems a
waste of our Christian stewardship opportunities to neglect
this resource.

Student chides dorm council
Congratul'ations,
I thought that I would drop a short note to say thanks
a~d congratulations to the dorm council for completely
blowing another open dorm (December 8). According to their
almighty majesty they saw fit in their benevolence to bestow
upon us ungrateful peons a gracious two hours of open dorm
during Festival of Christmas.
At least they are getting a little better. We knew of the

open dorm more than Ph days in advance. Thank you.
Also, I am glad to report that they did not cancel it this
time as was the case at Edgren during Nik Dag Weekend.
The dorm parents graciously offered the lounge as an ade­quate
alternative location for the dinner several of us had
planned for my dorm room. Somehow the atmosphere in the
lounge was slightly lacking.
You would think that it would be possible to be able
to organize just one evening out of a month for open dorm.
But then, I do realize that the councp and dorm parents
are very busy doing whatever they do. Oh well, I guess
this is just another one of those minor injustices due to
inefficiency we must suffer in this cruel cold world.

Give credit, not criticism
to the Food Service
Dear Editor,
Criticizing the food service, at any school, is one of the
favorite pastimes of college students, it seems. While com­plaints
are sometimes valid, it seems to me that the Bethel
Food Service, on the whole, is doing a good job of feeding
us, and I was glad to read Kim Maring's factual defense
of it in the last issue of the Clarion.
In my opinion, arid that of others I know, Bethel food
is usually good. There is a variety of choices (two or three
kinds of meat, vegetables and salads), and the food, though
it may not always measure up to Mom's, tastes good. I've
had a chance to try new foods like artichokes, and don't even
get homebaked bread at home! Of course, there are some
meals that don't appeal to me or that may not be the most
delectable thing I've ever eaten, but on the whole, I am
satisfied.
Kim's letter, with her listing of prices and explanation
of where the Food Service income goes, confirmed my belief
that we get a good buy on food here. With price changes
on only three items (one of which was reduced in price
per ounce since last year, and a paltry profit of three percent)
the Food Service is obviously trying to keep its costs and
prices down. And you must admit, eating in the cafeteria
is less expensive than eating a comparable meal in a rest­aurant.
The Food Service serves most of us better than we
realize, I think, and it seems to me that it should get more
credit and less criticism. Maybe, if with a positive attitude,
we were less picky and critical, the food would suddenly
"improve. "
Sincerely,
Sharon Erickson

Dear Edltor,
Now that registration is over, I think it is relevant
and timely to ask the administration for an easier way
to register for classes and to be able to obtain the classes
that one wants.
I am only a freshman at Bethel, so I can only speak from
the experience of two registrations. But I have found that
two is more than I want to experience. I have had enough.
I feel my complaints are very well founded.
First, one finds oneself getting up at 5 a.m. in order
to obtain a good place in line. By the time I got there
(the registration line), there were already 32 people in front
of me. Why should I get up so eady? It was the last
day of registration and at the rate that classes were closing
'up, I did not want to take the chance of getting one of
my classes closed, for then I would ha ve to go through
the process of changing my entire schedule.
Secondly, it is terrible to have to wait in line for such
a long time. It was not so bad to be number 33 in line,
but I pity those 100 or so people who found themselves
behind me. I feel it is a waste of the student's time
and sleep to have to bother with "the line."
The whole problem can be summarized in my last point;
we need more courses. It may cost the school more to have
more courses, but there are more students and the stu­dents
must have more courses to fulfill the requirements
set by the school. It only seems right that the school should
supply more sections of the same courses that they require
their students to take.
Sincerely,
Bruce Olsen

MHRAcombats cancer of urban blighf
by Ann Ziebarth
Editor's nOte: Ann Ziebarth isa -senior at the 'Pniver!~ity
of Minnesota. !She is a 'Housing 'Major and - is presently
an intern with the Minneapolis Housing and Redevelopment
Authority. She has also beEm an intern with the Depart­ment
of Housing Inspections for the City of Minneapolis.
Miss Ziebarth is a friend of the editor.
The future of America's cities depends upon the vi­ability
of its neighllorhoods. Each area of the city, each block,
and each individual building must be alive or the cancer of
urban ,blight spreads. No one person or building is free
from the adverse effects of decay. If one home is neglected
the value of the house next door is less. Less value means
less upkeep and the spiral of deterioration begins.
Within the city of Minneapolis alone there has been
estimated at least 27,000 homes which ,are in need of major
repairs. In order to coml;>at this problem the Minneapolis
Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the City of Minn­eapolis
have created a city-wide . rehabilitation program.
, I
HOME REHABILITATH~:N" PROGRAM
This rehabilitation program provides loans with long re­payment
periods and low interest rates of 4, 6, and 8
percent for homeowners who wish to fix up their proper-fonT
The Rehabilitation Program is responsible
for 6,681 acres of neighborhood and indus­trial
renewal areas.
"Public housing is home.
ties. There are a very limited number of grarits ,also avail­able
for emergency repairs. '
The program is designed to ease .the pressure of the
higl1 interest rates so that homes do not fall beyond the level
of minimum housing standards. This program is a major
step toward reversing the decay chain and in keeping Minn­eapolis
a quality city to live and grow in.
URBAN RENEWAL
The Authority does much more than administrate the
City's Rehabilitation Program. They are responsible for
6,681 acres of neighborhood and industrial renewal areas.
The residential urban renewal projects _ are carefully planned
programs designed to eliminate blight, to provide positive
economic growth, to preserve and heighten the viability of
the neighborhood and overall to increase the quality of the
living environment. These programs include some commercial
, buildings located in' primarily residential areas. '
The urban renewal programs provide financial and tech­nical
assis'tance to rehabilitate deteriorating buildings. The
Authority demolishes those buildings which are beyond repair
and helps displaced residents find a new home or business
location. These displaced persons are also given financial
assistance. The Authority then redevelops the land or sells
it for private development which is restricted to compliance
with the requirements of the plan.
Industrial renewal is primarily being accomplished through
Tax Increment Programs. These programs provide plans as
well as financial and technical assistance to improve specific
area's. The improvements are then paid for through the in­creased
tax revenues resulting from this improved quality
of the area.
PUBLIC HOUSING
The' planning, construction, maintenance, and manage­ment
of public assisted housing for those persons who need
it, is also the responsibility of the Authority.
Housing for elderly persons on limited incomes is pri­marily
provided in high rise apartment bLiildings. These
buildings are specifically designed to meet the special needs
of elderly persons with features such 'as doors, to accommodate
wheel chairs, grab bars, hand rails · and provision for main-tenance
of units_ , .
There are some leased units for ~lderly persons. These
units are owned by private concerns and rented by the
Authority. The Authority then sublets the apartments at a
subsidised rate to individuals.
Assisted housing for families provides housing for ~amilies
with limited incomes or those who are required to spend over
25 per cent of their income for their housing needs. Some
family units are located in townhouse communities. Others are
in single family homes scattered throughout the city. These
scattered units are Authority owned and rented to families.
The major constructioh of Public Housing in the last few
years has been high rise buildings for elderly persons,
URBAN HOMESTEADING
Within the next few months the Authority is planning
to adopt an Urban Homesteading Program. This program will
market homes very inexpensively. The owners must then
rehabilitate the home, bringing it up to the minimum main-tenance
code requirements. .
CONCLUSION
. 'No one person
or . ~ building r is free
from the adverse
effects of decay'
This is a very brief overview of one of the many service
agencies in the Metropolitan Area. It is through tQese agencies
that the high quality of life possible within urban areas is
preserved, maintained and revitalized.
The key to remember is that prevention is what really
counts. Concern by each and every citizen to the real
problems is a necessity. The real problems of rats, disease,
' leaking roofs, and pover~ live not only in the New York's
and the Chicago's but in Minneapolis, in St. Paul and 'in
every place people live.
The solution to any problem begins only if we are aware
of it. Then alternatives can be suggested and attempted.
The Minneapolis Housing and Redevelopment Authority is one
small attempt toward a solution of the housing problem.

It may not be the best solution and it is certainly not the

A:UTHOR'S NOTE
As college students we cannot afford to be so secure in
our "comfortable" everyday lives that we can forget the
reality of the world around us. Awareness and concern are
not even enough. Action must bridge the gap. Many agencies
and businesses have set up internship programs. ' These
programs provide experience for students in their fields as
well as additional staff to the organization th~se students
serve.
The Urban Corp coordinates many of the service-learning
internships \yithin the Metropolitan area. Anyone registered
as a college student is eligible ,to apply and many of the
positions allow the student to be paid as well as to receive
college credit.
If you're at all interested give the Urban Corp a call
apd see what ' is available. But don't give up if they can't
help you. Initiation is the name of the game, block yourself
a space of time, make a few phone calls and knock on a
few doors. The experience you gain may be that jump '
ahead in your future career .

Pi GammaMu:
so'cial" welfare is
agent of change
by Gloria Jackson
"Social Welfare: Cowboys or Indi­ans"
was the title of the third Pi Gamma
Mu lecture, presented on November 19,
by Donald Belton, instructor of social
work. Belton's paper on the role of social
welfare in American society presented
the question of social welfare as an
agent of change, or an agent of social
control.
"Because our social welfare system
is addressed to the preservation of social
norms, it is an institution of social con­trol,"
said Belton. Because of this basic
contention, the programs that have been
designed to help have not been effective
and have served to "pat the needy on
the head." They have not helped to
right any fundamental social evils.
The furtherance of the American
"ideal" with values like progress, suc­cess,
and work have affected the admin­istration
of the welfare system in that
"people will become okay if they become
like us."
Belton suggests that we need to . take
a realistic look at the values of the
system and that a change is needed
in the social structure. "Our integrity
demands our involvement in making our
society responsive to the human needs
of all its citizens."
Belton said that political action is im­portant
and that efforts to change our
institution _of social welfare will not occur
inside our tax supported agencies. "It
must occur through privately funded so­cial
action agencies and community and
professional pressure groups." Thus, Bel.
ton suggests a "mutual responsibility"
as everyone's right.
This mutual responsibility is especially
pertinent to the Christian. This respons­ibility
is working together with individual
responsibility causing a "dynamic tension
between the two."
Student respondents were Loren Wood­man
and Marilyn Jackson. They initiated
questions that led to a lively discussion
among students and faculty attending
the lecture.
Commenting during discussion, Belton
said, "the role of the Christian is not
what he can do, but what he should
be doing. Slowly, with realistic goals,
it is possible to change."

maybe hummers
don't know words
by Bruce Olsen and Dan Joling
Walking through the library without
hearing any noise can be quite an accom­plishment.
In fact, it is probably im­possible.
So this survey was taken to
obtain the opinion of Joe Student and
what he thinks about the noise in the
LRC (otherwise known as the library).
Our first find was not the least bit
surprising. People ' were bothered by
noise. We were surprised to find that
22 per cent of those surveyed were not
bothered at all by noise. However, many
of those not bothered admitted that they
were the ones making the noise.
Talking was the biggest noise maker
to those surveyed, but the humming of
the lights in the LRC was a strong
second. "That constant hum just drives
me up a wall," said one student. Many
said the hum and talking bothered them,
but when asked which one made the
most noise, many students chose talking.
"It interrupts the quiet atmosphere
more," said another student. "But that
hum is bad."
Of the 29 per cent who use the li­brary
less than three hours a week,
many of them said they never use it
at all. One student said, "I don't use
it unless I have to (for resources). The
noise is just unbearable."
Our final question, "Would you favor
enforcement of total silence in the LRC?"
received the most reaction. Many of
the answers we received were, "No,"
or, "Are you kidding?" or even, "To­tal
silence? You've got to be nuts."
Although 78 percent were bothered by
noise in some way, 175 of the 202 sur­veyed
were against enforcing total sil­ence
in the LRC. "Can't we just whis­per
a little bit?" they would ask.
Mark Grindahl controls his opponent in an exhibition match during
the Royals' meet with Northland. Wednesday, the Bethel grapplers
beat Gustavus Adolphus 34·18.
"Where would you draw the line be­tween
whispering and talking?" I would
question. At this point, they decided a­gainst
total silence.
It must be taken under consideration
tha t 13 per cent of those polled were
in favor of enforced silence. "Throw
out those loudmouths," some would say.
"I'd like to use the library to study,
but I can't stand all the noise in there."
What are the possible solutions to such
a problem? If there is some way to
fix the lights (Le. stop the humming
sound) , then get them fixed. Without
the constant hum, many would not mind
an occasional whisper.
Secondly, use common sense when you
talk. Be aware of other students who
come to the library to do some serious
studying, and try not to make a habit
of talking.
Our last suggestion would be to set
aside some classrooms where students
could talk when they needed to. "The
coffee shop isn't always the best place
to study and talk. There are too many
distractions," said one student. Setting
up study-talk classrooms would take a
lot of pressure off the library noise.
Hopefully it would not take a lot of
students out of the library.

Wo·men c'age'rs
young, hopeful
by Gloria Jackson
The Women's Intercollegiate Basket­ball
team opened their 1975 season last
night as they met Macaleste:r; on the
home court. Coach Shirley Dawson, be­ginning
her first season here as basket­ball
coach, said, "The success of the
team will be determined by consistent
shooters, success in defense, and the
ability to . stop the other team from scor­ing."
Although the team is "young" because
almost all of last year's starting line
graduated, Coach Dawson looks forward
to a good season. "My goal for the
season is to qualify for the state tour­nament
next year," said Miss Dawson.
Twelve girls are out for the season
with more than 50 percent freshmen.
Three seniors, two juniors, and two soph­omores
complete the roster. This includes
two returning varsity players, Marilyn
Luce and Terry Schimbeno.
The Lady Royals will play St. Olaf
January 21 at St. Olaf. A ten-game sea­son
is scheduled for the team and a
"B" team will also play.

Bethel second in tourney,
loses to Ha'm/ine in ·OT
by Keith Kramer
The basketball team goes on the road this weekend
to open this year's Tri-State action.
The Royals placed second in the Hamline Holiday Classic
over the holidays. They beat Concordia-River Forest (Ill.) in
their first game, 74-69. Paul Healy led Bethel scorers with
19 points.
The Royals lost in the championship game, 72-71, to
Hamline in two overtimes. Hamline led by nine points at
halftime, 34-25, but Bethel came back and tied the score
at the end of regulation time at 64-64.
Both teams scored four points in the first overtime and
Hamline's Tom Cybela put in two layups to provide the
winning margin. Mark Robertson scored 24 points in the
championship game and led Bethel's scoring. Robertson, Craig
Oslin and Tim Engebretson were named to the All-Tourney
team.
Against Trinity, the Royals fell behind at the start, with
Trinity building a quick ten point lead. Trinity called a time­out
at 12 :43 left to play in the first half, which destroyed
their momentum. The Trojans then tried stalling tactics for
the rest of the first half, which ended 37-29.
In the second half, the Royals showed some fire and it ·
looked as though the game could be close. Paul Healy scored
on a jumper with 13 :12 left, to pull the Royals to within
seven. That was the closest Bethel ever got as the Trojans
came back to put the game away with some steady outside
shooting and aggressive rebounding.
FREE THROWS: According to Tri-State statistics released
on December 26, Bethel led all (Tri-State) teams in non-con­ference
defensive play with a 72.5 points against average.
However, the Royals had the least amount of scoring punch
(64.0 pts.), and finished last in the non-conference standings
(2-6). Mark Robertson leads the team in scoring (13 .. 9
pts. per game) and rebounding (8.1 per game).
Northland stops Royalls;
Witzgall returns, wins
by Curtis Kregness
The Northland College Lumberjacks came' to wrestle
the Royals last Saturday in spite of the blizzard, and left
with a 26-21 victory under their belts.
Coach Dave Klostreich said that his team was "not
healthy," but turned in a good performance under the cir­cumstances.
Fred Witzgall, a senior who was injured playing
football last fall, wrestled for the first time this season and
outpointed his opponent 13-1. Fred Ogimachi was out with a
sprained ankle in the U8-pound class. Klostreich said that
he would be ready for the meet at Gustavus Adolphus on
Wednesday, January 15.
Jerry Flasch was ailing with water on the elbow, but
will be wrestling again soon at 190 pounds. By February,
when junior Dave Lindenberg becomes eligible, the team
should be well-rounded and prepared for Tri-State Conference
competition, said Klostreich.
Tomorrow, the Bethel grapplers participate in the North­land
Invitational at Ashland, Wisconsin. This ten-team tourney
is one of the season's highlights, and will pit the Royals
against several tough MIAC teams.
